Abstract
A method to Suspend-and-Resume across various operational environment contexts is disclosed. An environmental context is saved in a disk partition corresponding to the saved environment. The system is suspended. Upon resume, a selected environmental context is selected for boot or resume. This method of switching contexts may also be used for trusted execution, manageability, and other purposes.
